Javni prijevoz u linijskom i povremenom obalnom pomorskom prometu – pravna vrela (podzakonski propisi)

The aim of this paper is to address subordinate legislation on public transport in liner shipping and occasional coastal maritime traffic in the Republic of Croatia. The matter at stake is primarily regulated by the Act on Transport in Liner Shipping and Occasional Coastal Maritime Traffic, 2006 and its amendments made in 2009, 2011 and 2013 (hereinafter referred to as: the Act). The latest amendment is particularly important, as it has been made as a consequence of implementing the acquis communautaire of the European Union. It imposes an obligation on the Government and the competent Ministry to pass subordinate legislation in order to have a complete set of rules for the effective application of the Act. The subordinate legislation is now complete and consists of the following acts: the Regulation on the conditions and evaluation of the criteria for the award of concession and contract on public services for public transport in liner shipping and coastal maritime traffic; the Rules that the ship and the ship-operator participating in public transport in liner shipping and coastal maritime traffic have to comply with; the Rules on the conditions and procedure for granting beneficial rights in public transport in liner shipping and coastal maritime traffic; the Decision on the amount of the discount on the regular prices for transport tickets with beneficial rights for the passengers and vehicles in public transport in liner shipping and coastal maritime traffic. The Authors elaborate on the main issues regulated by subordinate legislation and address its main disadvantages.
